A "QUEER'. FELLOW.

In an editorial entitled "We Are q Queer People," IImle'S Fibre aud FdMic, of which Jos. NJ. Wade an nounccs himself "Editor and Bus mess Manager in capitals, the fol- lowing statements are made;
 "Thc coal handlers who started the present strike, no doubt. had a good case in the beginning, which the coal kings should have listened to. But even if they were unreasonable, patience and moral pressure would have been more effective and much less expensive than a strike, which will cost millions, and may fail in the end. '
 "WhiIc labor is fairly dealt with, such doctrines as those urged by Henry George and Mr. Mcttlynn will take root slowly"
 "Patiencc and moral pressure" is all the bosses ask. With these two "virtucs" workingmcn can always earn the smiles end low wages of their employers. We never hear the bosses crying out against "moraI prcssuro"-they like it better than strikes. The reason why they pre- fer "moraI pressure is that 1t does not interfere with their profits. But Mr. Jos. M. Wade don't tell the worklngmon how to press morally,
 As to the doctrines of Henry George taking root slowly "whiIe Labor is fairly dealt with" we are of the opinion, and intelligent work ingmen are beginning to see 1t, too, that Labor will not be fairly dealt with until such doctrines and others more radical prevail.
 Jos. M. Wade is no doubt more of "businesS manager" than an editor; his paper looks prosperous and he evidently caters to his pa rons, the bosses.
 We hope that the Textile workers will organize thoroughly and have an honest journal of their own that will help to educate these poorIy-pajd workers out of tn, drudgcry of wage. c.sIavery.
 By the way, who is the Robert Howard that is announced as associ ate editor of Wadr's paper? Can il be the Secretary of the spimcrs union; Queer company to be in Robert.

any desire to thwart them by mlaw- full means.
 For this reason the Labor Party is organizing, and by It's growth and strength will he gaugod the measure of success which the strikers that the PoM wishes defeated have at taincd.
 The fact that the men struck is in itself a good sign. If they do not succeed in bringing the bosses to terms by this means, they will seek more effective ones. A taste of Iib- crty even at the cost of suffering is worth more to the workers than "steady york;" wages, and slaysh submission.
 The great strike will not have been in vain.

The latest railway accident" up in Vermont brings to mind q con ycrsation with q miIroadrr which convinced us that many a mishap could be prevented by proper pre- cautions. Something wrong caused the parting of the train at Woodstock Bridge near White River Junction last week. The railroadcr assured us that the railroad companies cm- pIoycd too few men to properly at tend to the many details that go to make raihoading safe as well as swift. The reason why the railroad companies employ minimum mum Der of men is not difficult to name: njvidendS' Profit
 Last year the WoHhMEN'S Apyo- CATE published several articles by Will. D. Nouthworth. (.

Er'roct from "Thc True Solution of Ne Ldbo Q"eIjon," hy C. 1T. IT. Cooh.

"A fair days wages for fair day s york; has generally been the highest aim of labor organizations. The conse- quence of their struggle for this object is a most disastrous contest between capi- talstS and laborers. The employer seeks to obtain the greatest amount of work for the smallest amount of pay. while the employe struggles to get the largest pay for the smallest amount of work. This contest is inevitable under the pres cnt system of production.
 But the gains, which thereby accrue to the workinSmen. are of the most tritling character. The benefits of a successful strike are only too frequently lost at the first period of depression, and a rise of wages always necessitates an almost equal increase in the price of commodi- ties Hence the workingmen are obliged to rrt'On Hejr j0crcaSp of Iraqty utmost in JNH in buying the very goods they pro ,luCe.
 Recognizing this, will they still regard a flair days wages for fair day work as the ideal of organized labor and will they be able to realize this ideal:
 Time and experience will teach them that they will become more and more powerless to conquer capitalists by strikes and boycotts. The army of nnemployed will constantly increase through the per lection of machinery; the division of labor will s'pplant the skill of the me chanic to such a degree that the employ CTS will he enabled to tiIl their shops and factories, at any time, with unskilIed workmgmen easily found among the despairing army of unemployed

 The passage through both houses of Congress of the Interstate Com mcrcc Bill, is regarded by most anti mon0pollsts as step in the right direction. Among those who urged President Cleveland to oppose it were Q number of railroad barOns monopoIists; also, the members of the Knights of Labor Legislative Committee at Washington, of which Ralph Beaumont is chairman. John Swinton and Henry George favored 1t, and the former says that the K. of l.. committee took a serious re- sponsibility in interfering as they did.
 A committee of the Massachu- setts legislature examined the sys- tem of sewerage adopted at Pullman the "model town near Chicago, where all the towns sewage is con- veycd away to large farm and used for fertili2ing. The Massachusetts committee is understood to favor the adoption of such a system for cite, and towns in the "Old Bay State. New Haven would be especially ben etitted by such system; the Ham den plains could be made fertile an( the inhabitants of this city could have an increasing supply of vegcta blos close at hand.

They only nominate them to insure the defeat of political opponents, and not through love for workingmen. -

 The society of civil engineers of the United States have reported the average cost of freight on American railroads at siX-hundrcdths of Il cent per ton per mile; yet the rail way corporations do not hesitate to charge an average of more than a cent.
 As to passenger traffic, the cost of transportation need be but little more than that of freight; and the railway reports show that three fourths of the profits come from freight. Use the profits for making the roads safe by better inspection of road-beds and gear, and we shOuld not have to read of such terrible scenes as those recorded. Not only do the people pay in money (Iabor) for the bungling of the corporations, but in blood. It is time that the question of government ownership and control be settled right. Hired attorneys and special pleaders may praise our railway system and the competitive plan; but the fact re- mains that inadequate protection to and eytortIonatc profits from the people are the results of the present system.

CAPITkllSTIC NEWS.

In ylcW ol the actual facts regard ing the great strike in New York and vicinity last Saturday the fol- lowing heading in the New York EreuiUg POH (raD seemed rather ridiculous:
 AN UTTER DEFEAT.
 rnE IoNosuoHE STRIKERS BEATEN EVERYWHERE
 Their places filled by new men, etc,
 The readers of the P0M are mostly capitalists who no doubt needed Q little bracing up. But it does seem rather cruel and productive of dis trust in the PoN to tell such bald hes. Fortunately the workmen of New York have an honest out spoken paper of their own (1hr Le0ier), so that they can tell US near as possible what the situation is without going to Headquarters to find out whether the latest news printed is false or not.
 Instead of "braten everywhere" the strikers were chcckmating the boycotted companies at almost every point. But the PoH could not re- sist the temptation of printing a lie to cypress its contemptihlc wish.
 Now, it is more than probable that the strikers will not gain much hv their strike in the way of in- creased wages; it is certain that many of them will have lost, or at least failed to receive, through the strike. one or two weeks wages. Bat they have gained something that will not bc counted in dollars and cents the feeling of manhood. q revolt against injuStire.

FRIGHTENED.

-~ The New Haven RegiSiey seems to be uneasy in regard to the changes taking place in the minds of the people regarding property in land, and, like the rest of the capi- talist class driven to the wall by sound argument, inyokes the aid of the rifle. Tins is what the hegiS- ter'S editorial writer says
 "It is all well enough for Henry George to go about the city lecturing, or stay at home writing books upon the glorious plan of aboshing property in land. He may even go so far with his scheme as to obtain legislative ap- proval of it. But how is he to gain the submission of the army of land holders the country over? Will not the man who inherited his property and the man who purchased it out of the savings of his own thrift stand shoulder to shoulder, armed with a Winchester ritle?'
 When Henry George and the army Of Labor get so lar as to secure legiS- latiye approval of the proposition to nationahzc the land, it may be taken for granted that legislatures will have been elected by the people whc are in favor of this act of justice, and if then there are those who think 1t wise to "stand shoulder to shoulder armed with rifle" to op. pose the State and national govern. ments, they will have to take the consequences.
 But the military editor of tn, Register should remember tha Henry George doesn't propose t stuff his gri psack full of farms anC cattle ranches and take them awa' with him. The army of lanC holders will probably not "Stan' shoulder to shoulder armed with , rlfle,' but like good citizens wall up to the tax-collcctor's office an' settle, jdst as they do now. Besides it is just possible that people won find it necessary or profitable l.

The pro ducing farms will no doubt h economically conducted under sucI governmental auspices as the peopl may decide.
 But Henry George does not con template all this, even. He sjmpl proposes to prevent speculation il land values by taxing land to its fuI value; and we cannot see how, m der the circumstances, the rifle would come into play with any goo results to the ritiemen commando by editorial colonels.
